[quote=Anonymous]It all depends on what kind of nanny you want. Some will do nothing until you tell her, what and how to do everything, every step of the way. Some parents want the sitter to follow extensive instructions every single day.

Personally, I am not that type of nanny. Once I get the lay of the land, I know what I'm doing. I schedule routine parent meetings to make sure we're on the same page. Been doing this forever, so I've had extensive training and experience. And yes, I still love helping parents with their children.

BTW, the "I don't know what to do until you tell me" nanny, is significantly less pricey than the "she knows how to do her job" nanny. Of course, most parents fantasize about some happy mix of the two, in one person. "Obey my demands when I give them to you, but when I'm too busy, I want you to know what to do." Hence, the endless discord that we see on this nanny forum.

I should add, that often parents start out thinking they know which type of nanny they want. When it doesn't go so well, it's extremely difficult, if not impossible to fix. And there begins the nanny revolving door.

I hope you have lots of clarity and time to make the right choice for you and your children.
